MASSACHUSETTS LABOR BULLETIN. No. 30. MARCH. NATIONAL TRADES ASSOCIATIONS. 1904. The tendency of contemporaneous practice in the direction of concentration of action through organization, in the adjustment of differences between employer and employee, is exemplified in the numerous comparatively recent movements among establishments in various lines of manufacture, looking to the formation of associations having the power to act in the interest of individual members, with the assurance of the support of all of their constituents. The underlying sentiment which actuates the members of these organizations is that the union movement among the working classes needs to be met by "powerful, well-disciplined, and broad-minded organizations of employers. * The literature of most of these organizations is temperate and conservative in discussing the labor situation of to-day; the right of workingmen to organize, and even the desirability of such action, is admitted. They recognize the evolution of the workman from the position where he labored alongside his employer and could at any time express his dissatisfaction with the order of things, if any were felt, to his position of to-day, when, in the service of corporations and great combinations of production, his chances for obtaining a hearing and securing redress for his grievances are becoming more and more uncertain.† The workingman's efforts to better his condition by emulating his employer in combining with his fellows for mutual benefit and protection are not condemned. From the employers' side, however, it is claimed that the immediate result of this combination has taught the workman the force of organized action, and that the acquisition of power by a class hitherto totally unused to it, combined in some cases with misguided leadership, ‡ may have led to many excesses and abuses, which could only be averted by the organizing of employers. *The National Metal Trades Association: What It Is, p. 19.
